SEPTA’s FY 2016 Capital Budget totals $534.54 million and the 12-year Capital Program totals $6.8 billion. In comparison, the amended FY 2015 Capital Budget totaled $687.47 million and the 12-year Capital Program totaled $6.9 billion. This amendment was approved by the SEPTA Board on October 23, 2014. This amount included the addition of a competitive federal Hurricane Sandy program award of $115.7 million to advance SEPTA’s Resilience program.

In FY 2016, SEPTA will continue to pursue its “Rebuilding SEPTA for the Future”

program (originally begun in FY 2015 as the “Catching Up” program). This program

includes improvements to critical infrastructure, such as substations, bridges and

stations. The program also replaces rail vehicles that have far exceeded their useful

life, while expanding capacity to address ridership growth and improving accessibility.

These improvements will protect regional transit service for current and future

customers, improve reliability and modernize outdated equipment.

The FY 2016 Capital Budget continues to fund the groundbreaking SEPTA Key (formerly

known as New Payment Technologies), the Authority’s fleet of hybrid buses,

installation of federally mandated Positive Train Control (PTC) signal technology,

vehicle overhauls, capital leases and debt service.

Introduction to SEPTA

SEPTA is the nation’s sixth-largest public transit agency and the primary public transit

provider in the greater Philadelphia region. SEPTA was created by the Pennsylvania

state legislature in 1964 and is an instrumentality of the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania. SEPTA’s multimodal network serves a 2,200 square-mile region with a

population exceeding four million. The SEPTA service area includes the five counties of

southeastern Pennsylvania – Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and the City of

Philadelphia – and also extends to Trenton and West Trenton in New Jersey, and

Wilmington and Newark in Delaware.

SEPTA operates the following services:

117 bus routes

13 Regional Rail lines

8 Trolley lines

Broad Street Line and the Market-Frankford Line (subway/elevated)

Norristown High Speed Line (an interurban heavy rail line)

3 Trackless Trolley routes

STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS

Strategic Business Plan

As part of its Five-Year Strategic Business Plan, SEPTA establishes vision, mission, core

values, strategies, and key performance indicators to measure progress toward

business goals. The strategic planning process is a management tool that unifies and

guides SEPTA’s other major planning processes, including the Operating and Capital

Budgets and the Annual Service Plan. The Strategic Business Plan for FY 2015-2019

includes eight corporate objectives:

Safety & Security

The Customer Experience

Sustainability

Ridership Growth

Emerging Technologies

Rebuilding the System

Human Capital Development

Business Partnerships SEPTA uses a balanced scorecard approach to measure qualifiable progress, with

metrics for Safety, Reliability, Resource Management, Financial Efficiency, Employee

Growth and The Customer Experience. “Key Performance Indicators” reports are

updated monthly at: http://www.septa.org/strategic-plan.

A matrix of how the Capital Budget aligns with the FY 2015-2019 Strategic Business

Plan is included in Appendix A.

Economic Impact · SEPTA is a catalyst for economic

activity in Southeastern Pennsylvania and the State as a

whole. SEPTA’s capital and operational expenditures

contribute $3.21 billion in economic output, supporting

nearly 26,000 jobs in Pennsylvania, and generating $62.5

million in state tax revenues, according to a 2013 report

published by the Economy League of Greater

Philadelphia and Econsult Solutions, Inc.

A key programmatic element of SEPTA’s Strategic Business Plan is

“SEP-TAINABLE,” which outlines the Authority’s triple bottom line

approach to sustainability: accounting for environmental, social and

economic organizational needs and regional opportunities. The

program sets 12 sustainability goals with specific, measurable

performance targets for each goal. SEPTA releases annual reports

tracking progress toward these goals. The program plan and annual

reports are available at http://www.septa.org/sustain. Examples of

goals, performance indicators and results are shown in the table

STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS

Transit Asset Management

SEPTA is implementing a new Transit Asset Management (TAM) Program, to be

fully functional in 2016. The TAM Program will guide SEPTA’s capital

investments, and will allow the Authority to produce State of Good Repair

performance indicators in accordance with new federal requirements. A new

suite of software will help SEPTA maintain comprehensive asset inventories

and maintenance information for rolling stock and fixed assets such as bridges,

stations, and rail. Initiatives currently underway include:

Asset Maintenance Management System · Implementation of an infrastructure

maintenance management system to maintain inventory; track inspection dates;

and schedule preventive maintenance, for SEPTA’s infrastructure and associated

assets.

State of Good Repair Database · Development of a capital planning and

decision-making tool that will evaluate the Authority’s ability to achieve a

state of good repair based on available funding.

Vehicle Maintenance Information System (VMIS) · Upgrade to software used to

manage and maintain SEPTA’s revenue vehicles, including buses, Customized

Community Transportation (CCT) vehicles, rail cars, and utility vehicles.

King of Prussia Rail Project - Rendering

One of SEPTA’s strategic business goals is “Rebuilding the System.” With the

infusion of new State funding, the Authority continues to prioritize the

replacement and renewal of infrastructure and vehicles, such as substations,

bridges, stations, maintenance facilities, and rail cars, in order to bring the

system to a state of good repair. State of good repair projects require attaining

a balance between operational impacts and other strategic business initiatives.

STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS

Long Range Planning

SEPTA plays a key role in a wide variety of transportation planning efforts

within the region, ranging from involvement in the Delaware Valley Regional

Planning Commission’s (DVRPC’s) Connections 2040 Long Range Transportation

Plan, to review and implementation of Philadelphia 2035 and County Plans, to

local station area planning projects with Municipalities within the SEPTA service

area. These planning efforts help to identify potential future transportation

needs as well as inform the SEPTA capital planning process of recommended

future investments.

Although SEPTA will remain focused for the foreseeable future on reducing the

backlog of state of good repair projects, the Authority is able to advance

planning efforts for a small number of potential future system expansion

projects. SEPTA is currently involved in planning work for several of these

potential future expansions: an extension of the Norristown High Speed Line to

King of Prussia (the King of Prussia Rail Project), an extension of the Broad

Street Subway to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and the Quakertown Rail

Restoration Analysis on the Bethlehem Branch from Lansdale to Perkasie.

SEPTA also participates in complex and large scale planning efforts led by area

stakeholders, including implementation and review of the Philadelphia 2035

plan, AMTRAK Northeast Corridor Planning, and participation in the DVRPC

work program and associated studies.

Many of these long term planning efforts are identified on the adjacent map.

SOURCES OF CAPITAL FUNDING

State Funds: $326.8 Million

On November 25, 2013, Governor Corbett signed into law Act 89, a

comprehensive transportation funding bill for the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania. This historic legislation provides long-term, dedicated

funding for public transit as well as roads, bridges and multimodal

transportation. Following on the recommendations of the Governor’s

Transportation Funding Advisory Commission, new revenues are

generated through uncapping the Oil Company Franchise Tax (OCFT),

adjusting various fees for inflation, and surcharges on traffic tickets.

For SEPTA, Act 89 will provide a predictable, growing source of funds

to make critical infrastructure repairs and improvements.

Projected growth in Act 89 funding is anticipated to nearly double

SEPTA’s annual capital program by Fiscal Year 2018, as compared to FY

2014. This level of capital funds will permit SEPTA to address its State

of Good Repair backlog, currently estimated at $5 billion due to long-

term funding shortfalls. In FY 2015, SEPTA embarked on its

“Rebuilding for the Future” capital program to repair or replace assets

that have long exceeded their useful life.

SEPTA’s FY 2016 Capital Budget includes $326.82 million in state

funds. SEPTA will receive state capital funds primarily via Section

1514, the Asset Improvement Program. Sources of funding for Section

1514 will be generated by various sources: proceeds of capital bonds;

tire, vehicle lease and vehicle rental fees; traffic violation fines; motor

license fund fees; and turnpike transfer funds, which will eventually be

replaced with sales and use tax revenues. SEPTA will receive 69.4

percent of the statewide capital funds allocated to transit authorities.

The Section 1514 program supports up to 96.775 percent of the total

cost of capital projects. The remaining 3.225 percent is matched by

Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties and the City of

Philadelphia. SEPTA also uses state transit funds to match federal

grants, with the state share being 19.355 percent of the total project

cost when used in this manner. The remaining 0.645 percent is

matched by the four regional counties and City of Philadelphia.

FY 2016 Capital Budget: Funds by Source ($M)

State Funding for Transit: A Recent History · Act 44, enacted in 2007, established the

Public Transportation Trust Fund, which restructured public transit funding in Pennsylvania.

The previous General Fund sources were replaced with dedicated funding, including a portion

of Sales Tax, Lottery proceeds, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission funding, funds from Act 3

of 1997, and funds from the Public Transportation Assistance Fund (PTAF; tire fees, vehicle

lease fees and vehicle rental fees). However, in 2010, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission

was unable to obtain federal approval to begin tolling Interstate 80. As a result, Act 44 funds

were significantly impacted, reducing SEPTA’s annual capital program by approximately $110

million annually — or 25 percent of the annual budget. Between FY 2011 and FY 2014,

SEPTA’s capital program shrunk to about $300 million annually, the lowest level since 1997.

This sustained drop in funding severely hampered the Authority’s ability to advance new

projects or address the State of Good Repair backlog. The passage of Act 89 of 2013 enables

SEPTA to begin addressing these shortcomings.

SOURCES OF CAPITAL FUNDING

Federal Funds: $196.8 Million

SEPTA’s FY 2016 Capital Budget includes an estimated $196.8 million in

federal funds. Federal funds typically support 80 percent of the total

cost of a capital project; the remaining 20 percent local match is

provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the City of

Philadelphia, and Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties.

SEPTA receives most of its federal funding from the Federal Transit

Administration (FTA). “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st

Century” (MAP-21) authorizes federal surface transportation programs.

Congress is working on reauthorization of MAP-21, which is currently

set to expire on May 31, 2015. Federal funding sources and Fiscal Year

2016 estimates are shown in the adjacent table.

Most federal funding is provided via the FTA’s formula programs.

SEPTA also receives federal highway funds that PennDOT “flexes” (i.e.,

transfers) to transit agencies; SEPTA typically uses flex funds for bus

replacements. SEPTA’s FY 2016 capital budget includes $5.1 million in

Congestion Mitigation funds that PennDOT is providing for transit

capacity enhancements related to the reconstruction of Interstate 95.

The budget also includes $2.5 million in projected Transit Security

Grant Program (TSGP) funds allocated through competitive grants

administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The Authority applies for competitive federal grants when available. In

2013, SEPTA was awarded discretionary funding through the

TIGER V grant program (U.S. Department of Transportation) for the

$38.8 million SEPTA-CSX West Trenton Separation project. In

September 2014, SEPTA received $86.8 million in funding from the

FTA’s “Resilience Projects In Response to Hurricane Sandy” competitive

grant program, which made funding available to transit agencies

impacted by Hurricane Sandy to protect transit infrastructure against

future natural disasters. This funding represents a 75 percent share of

SEPTA’s Resilience Program cost of $115.7 million. The program

consists of seven projects designed to harden priority areas of SEPTA’s

infrastructure. Additional information about SEPTA’s Resiliency Grant

award is included in Appendix C.

SOURCES OF CAPITAL FUNDING

Local Funds: $10.9 Million

Public-Private Partnerships /

Joint Development

SEPTA’s FY 2016 Capital Budget includes $10.9 million in local matching

funds. The required local match for federal and state funds is provided by

Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties and the City of

Philadelphia. SEPTA requests matching funds from the Counties along with

its annual operating budget request; capital funds required for the City of

Philadelphia’s local share are requested as part of the City’s capital budget

process.

SEPTA successfully used a public-private partnership approach to implement a Wayside Energy Storage project at Letterly Substation on the Market-Frankford Line. The equipment reduces SEPTA’s energy use and also generates revenue by allowing SEPTA to participate in the frequency regulation market. SEPTA’s energy storage equipment is used to help compensate for short-term grid instability caused by events such as extreme weather. SEPTA receives compensation for helping to maintain the power grid at a stable frequency.

SEPTA has issued an “expression of interest” seeking private sector ideas for advancing parking expansion improvements at the 69th Street Transportation Center in Delaware County. In addition, SEPTA issued a Request For Proposals to Finance, Design, Build, Own, Operate and Maintain (FDBOOM) a combined heat and power (CHP) plant at the Midvale Facility to source Regional Rail power with Pennsylvania natural gas.

69th Street Transportation Center Parking Garage

Public–Private Partnerships (P3s or PPPs) are contractual agreements between a public agency and a private entity that allow for greater private participation in the delivery of transportation projects. In P3s, the private sector assumes more risk in exchange for the opportunity to earn a financial return, while the public sponsor benefits from access to private capital. P3s require a revenue stream that can be used to repay the project financing. Where allowable, P3s can improve project feasibility, shorten project schedules and improve the quality of the finished project.

Most transit projects employ the Design-Bid-Build model, wherein the design and construction phases of a project are procured by a transit agency using multiple, separate contracts, and there is little or no overlap between these phases. P3s may be structured as follows:

Design-Build;

Design-Build-Operate-Maintain;

Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain; or

Finance-Design-Build-Own-Operate-Maintain

Federal and state agencies are working to pave the way for P3s in the transportation industry. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) conducted a Public-Private Partnership Pilot Program (Penta-P) and recently released Joint Development guidelines. In 2012, Pennsylvania lawmakers passed legislation approving the use of public-private partnerships for transportation projects.

Page 15: Fiscal Year 2016 Capital Budget

FUNDING PROJECTIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS

State funding is expected to grow steadily over the next four years. Act 89 is projected to

nearly double SEPTA’s annual capital budget by FY 2018. State capital funds for SEPTA will

increase from $120 million in 2014 to more than $350 million annually.

Act 89 also provides new bondable revenue sources for transit. In the future, SEPTA

anticipates issuing bonds for certain capital projects, such as rail car acquisitions, to assist in

financing the capital program.

SEPTA assumes the level of federal funding will remain constant over the duration of the FY

2016 Capital Budget and FY 2016-2027 Capital Program. MAP-21 has authorized funding

through May 31, 2015 and provided a modest increase over its three year duration. The

future of federal funding may be impacted by the solvency of the Highway Trust Fund, which

supports both highway and transit programs. SEPTA is working diligently with industry

partners and its Congressional delegation to encourage the passage of a long-term federal

funding reauthorization for transportation.

SEPTA’s FY 2016 Capital Budget and FY 2016-2027 Capital Program totals $6.8 billion and is

fiscally constrained, so that the program of projects reflects anticipated funding levels. In

order to advance additional projects, additional funding must be secured through

competitive grants or local sources, or through the use of capital financing to distribute

project costs over a longer period of time.

NEW PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES - SEPTA KEY

SEPTA “Key” Kiosk

The SEPTA “Key” New Payment Project will modernize SEPTA’s an quated fare payment and collec on system by offering riders a variety of payment choices to suit their travel needs. Fareboxes on buses and light rail vehicles will accept electronic fare media such as contactless cards and emerging media forms. New vending machines located in sta ons and other terminal loca ons will improve customer convenience for fare instrument purchases. Electronic media will also be widely available in retail establishments throughout the SEPTA service area and will be reloadable: 1) at vending machines or cket offices; 2) automa cally through an account with SEPTA; or 3) through an on‐line transac on.

In addi on to bus, rail transit, and regional rail fare collec on improvements, this project will include improvements to the payment and collec on procedures for SEPTA’s Customized Community Transporta on (CCT) opera on and SEPTA’s parking opera ons. Computer equipment and so ware systems will support the enhanced system‐wide fare collec on system.

A contract was awarded to ACS Transport Solu ons, Inc. (now a subsidiary of Xerox Corpora on) in November 2011. The SEPTA “Key” system will be implemented in phases. Phase 1 of the project will include the complete design, deployment of the data network backbone of the rail transit system, and advance pilot tes ng of the

SEPTA “Key” system. Phase 2 will include the installa on of the system on Rail Transit, Trolley and Bus fleets. Phase 3 includes the Regional Rail, Parking Opera ons and Customized Community Transporta on (CCT) segments.

Companion projects suppor ng the SEPTA “Key” project include: bus and trolley farebox upgrade; Market‐Frankford Line and Broad Street Line fiber op cs improvements; electrical support for new fare lines at five downtown Railroad sta ons (Temple University, Market East, Suburban Sta on, 30th Street Sta on and University City); Broad Street Subway, Market Frankford and Trolley sta on fare line improvements; zone offices to monitor fare lines and assist passengers; control modifica ons for elevators; remote Railroad sta on wai ng room security; provide power to Railroad Parking Payment Sta ons; and 30th Street Railroad sta on cket office/vendor reloca ons. These SEPTA “Key” companion projects are necessary to provide enhanced customer service and achieve cost efficiencies and revenue enhancements.

The SEPTA Board approved a loan agreement with the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corpora on (PIDC), Limited Partnership (LP) XXVIII, to finance this project. The total project cost includes the loan repayment, interest on the loan and companion project costs.

Parking Deck Rendering - Wawa Station

With the addi onal capital funds resul ng from the passage of State Act 89 of 2013, SEPTA is now in the financial posi on to advance the Elwyn to Wawa Rail Restora on project. Except for some right‐of‐way improvements funded with federal s mulus money, this service restora on project was previously on hold due to funding limita ons.

In the la er part of the twelve year capital program, SEPTA will review the feasibility of restoring trolley service to Routes 23 and 56. Funds in the twelve capital program are needed to address: 1) the replacement or rehabilita on of assets that have exceeded their useful life; 2) the demands upon the transit and regional rail systems

resul ng from increased ridership; and 3) enhanced accessibility of the system. SEPTA will con nue to work with its partners, Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), the City of Philadelphia, the Coun es of Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery, and other regional partners, in seeking regional consensus on future rail service expansion ini a ves and with the development of funding strategies/op ons for advancing future expansions projects, including the Federal New Starts Program.

SUBSTATIONS AND POWER IMPROVEMENTS

SEPTA’s railroad and transit substa ons were built in the 1920s and 1930s. In order to bring these substa ons up to modern standards of reliability and performance, they must be overhauled or replaced. Work includes new transformers, trolley breakers, feeder breakers, substa on switchgear and protec ve relaying. These projects will replace exis ng equipment with modern indoor switchgear and state‐of‐the‐art industry safety systems, communica ons and relay protec on systems, and will provide addi onal power and reliability.

Power subsystems must also be brought to a state of good repair. These include DC trac on power feeder cables; catenary wire on the Broad Street Line, Routes 101/102, regional rail and trackless trolley lines; substa on power control upgrades; high speed trip devices; breakers; high voltage bushings; ba ery control systems, sta c frequency converters at Wayne Junc on; power sec onalizing at interlockings; and uninterrupted power supply (UPS) at SEPTA’s Control Center and Radio Room.

Expansion Project Planning

King of Prussia Rail – An Extension of the Norristown High Speed Line (NHSL)

- Lead Agency: Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA)

An Alternatives Analysis and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (AA/DEIS) planning study for the extension of the Norristown High Speed Line to the King of Prussia area began in 2012. This planning effort is critical given the changes in the King of Prussia area over the past decade in land use, population growth, the expansion of the King of Prussia Mall (the largest Mall complex in the United States), the formation of a Business Improvement District (BID), and the growing number of SEPTA bus passengers who currently endure unpredictable and longer than desired bus travel times to the area as a result of traffic congestion on area roadways. The goal of the study is to determine a locally preferred alternative for an extension of the existing Norristown High Speed line to the King of Prussia area, providing access to areas such as the King of Prussia Mall, the business park area north of the mall, the Valley Forge National Historical Park and the Valley Forge Casino Resort. The study will utilize a tiered screening process to narrow down the alternatives from an initial long list of 30 potential alternatives to a single recommended locally preferred alternative. The study will include development of capital and operating costs, a simulation of service operations, appropriate environmental review steps as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 3D modeling of the locally preferred alternative, and significant outreach to the public as well as area stakeholders. Ridership modeling for each of the alternatives will also be developed by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC). Completion of the Alternatives Analysis and Draft Environmental Impact Statement is anticipated by the end of 2015.

Broad Street Line Extension – Pattison Avenue to the Philadelphia Navy Yard

- Lead Agency: Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Bureau of Public Transportation and Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC)

PIDC received a DVRPC FY 2007 Transportation and Community Development Initiative (TCDI) grant to evaluate transit needs and alternatives for enhancing public transportation connections to Navy Yard redevelopment sites in South Philadelphia, including the extension of the Broad Street Line from its current terminus at AT&T Station. A final feasibility study report was issued in September 2008. In 2014, PennDOT’s Bureau of Public Transportation provided funding to update that feasibility study with a Phase 2 Feasibility study which will update the original findings based upon the new 2013 Navy Yard Master Plan and examine the potential to move the extension forward within the FTA New Starts guidance that is associated with MAP-21. The expected duration of the study is approximately 2 years.

APPENDIX B: LONG-TERM PLANNING EFFORTS

SEPTA’s current Strategic Business Plan has identified the need for SEPTA to adopt a Long-Range Plan for Capacity Enhancements and Service Expansion as one of the Business Initiatives under the Infrastructure and State of Good Repair Category. A SEPTA Long Range Plan would provide a connected framework for decision making within SEPTA, as well as a crucial link between the planning efforts of key regional stakeholders and SEPTA’s long term vision and goals. The descriptions below provide more detailed information on various transit expansion, community, and regional planning projects. These projects are included

to provide information on long-term capital programming and strategic planning conducted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), SEPTA, the City of Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties, and other transportation agencies and associations in the region.

Quakertown Rail Restoration – Alternatives Analysis

- Lead Agencies: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) / Montgomery and Bucks County Planning Commissions

The Alternatives Analysis (AA) study investigated the feasibility of restoring passenger rail service linking Bucks County and North Penn communities with Center City Philadelphia, via Lansdale. The AA examined transit options that would mitigate highway congestion in the Route 309 corridor. This effort was managed by DVRPC, and coordinated with Bucks and Montgomery County Planning Commissions, the TMA of Bucks County and SEPTA. The preliminary findings of that study reflected an approach to restoring service in the Route 309 corridor by recommending electrification of the SEPTA-owned branch line to a terminus point at Pennridge in West Rockhill Township, with some degree of phasing. This project was placed on hold in 2012 pending the FTA finalization of new evaluation criteria for federal transit projects under MAP-21. DVRPC included a project within it’s FY2015 Work Program to update ridership projections within that corridor, with updated ridership numbers expected in 2015. Result of that analysis will determine how to determine future direction of project.

Long Range Planning

30th Street Station District Plan

- Lead agencies and project partners: Amtrak, Brandywine Realty Trust, Drexel University, PennDOT, and SEPTA

The Philadelphia 30th Street Station District Plan will create a single, integrated vision for both the station and its surrounding area. The final vision will contain opportunities for community development, economic growth and improved transportation connections. The master planning process involves three main elements of analysis: transportation, the station and associated facilities, and commercial opportunities. Each of these elements will be integrated into a final comprehensive plan for the District.

This process will be guided by the project partners, including SEPTA, with input from the community at public meetings held throughout the two-year timeframe. The final District Plan will be completed in spring 2016.

Long Range Regional Transportation Plan – Connections 2040 Plan for Greater Philadelphia

- Lead agency: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC)

DVRPC is required to update the Long Range Regional Transportation Plan every five years. The plan addresses transportation, land use, environmental and economic competitiveness policies and includes fiscally constrained transportation projects. The plan was adopted by the DVRPC Board in July 2013 and published in November 2013. With the passage of Act 89, a supplemental amendment was included include longer range projects that previously had been deferred due to fiscal constraints. That supplement was released in 2014.

City of Philadelphia: Philadelphia 2035 Plan

- Lead agency: Philadelphia City Planning Commission

Philadelphia2035: The Citywide Vision was the first phase of a large scale comprehensive planning effort for the City of Philadelphia completed in 2012. Recommendations include new and extended transit lines to serve the Roosevelt Boulevard Corridor, access to the Navy Yard, connections to the Central Delaware Waterfront and the Centennial District; and the development of the Market East Station and 30th Street Station areas. The Planning Commission is currently in the second phase of Philadelphia2035, establishment of 18 individual District Plans to develop specific recommendations for each area of the City. Other products resulting from Philadelphia2035: The Citywide Vision include The Complete Streets Manual – the balanced use of streets between pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, and vehicles - and The Philadelphia Master Trails Plan.

The following District Plans are underway or completed:

Underway: South and Riverwards

Completed: Lower South, West Park, Lower Northeast, Central, University Southwest, Lower North, Central Northeast and Lower Northwest

SEPTA participates in the district planning process by providing review, analysis and input into the District Plans to ensure consistency and integration of transportation-related planning efforts by all stakeholders.

Northeast Corridor Commission Actions

- Lead agency: NEC Infrastructure and Operations Advisory Commission

Under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) of 2008, the NEC Infrastructure and Operations Advisory Commission was established to guide and lead the various planning efforts throughout the Corridor. The NEC Commission directs efforts to redefine the use of the NEC with its recently adopted comprehensive cost-allocation methodology that has been adopted by the Northeast Corridor States. Both SEPTA and PennDOT have roles in these efforts. The implementation of full cost allocation by the States and Commuter rail carriers for operating costs and capital investments on the NEC in addition to a stronger partnership with Amtrak on key decision-making is ongoing.

NEC Future: A Rail Investment Plan for the Northeast Corridor

- Lead agency: Federal Railroad Administration

This study began in 2012 and includes several components: the development of a service plan for the NEC, with consideration of both current and future markets for improved rail service and capacity; a corridor-level environmental impact statement (Tier 1) that considers the impacts to the environment and supports reduction in energy use; and an investment plan for passenger rail on the NEC that can be approached incrementally. Primary among the plan goals is to consider high-speed rail alignments and improve connectivity among rail services and between rail and other modes. SEPTA is participating in the process and providing information to the project team about capital improvements that would enhance high-speed commuter rail operations on the NEC. The FRA is scheduled to complete this comprehensive environmental impact assessment in the fall of 2015.

Other Planning Activities

Roosevelt Boulevard

- Lead agency: Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, City of Philadelphia (Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities and Philadelphia Streets Department,

SEPTA, DVRPC

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) recently completed the Alternatives Development for the Roosevelt Boulevard Transit Enhancements study. The

purpose of this project was to take a fresh look at transit needs and develop strategies that could be achieved at grade within the existing cross section, at comparatively lower

cost and in a shorter timeframe than the fixed guideway service that has historically been the focus of planning efforts. The resulting recommendation was for a modified form

or a new bus rapid transit (BRT) service along the Boulevard.

The dedicated transit right-of-way/guideway service along the Roosevelt Boulevard remains a long-term ambition. To this end, the City of Philadelphia was awarded a $2.5

million TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant in 2014 to develop long-range plans for the Roosevelt Boulevard. Work on this study will begin

in 2015, with PennDOT and SEPTA being core stakeholders.

Wissahickon Transportation Center Planning

- Lead agency: SEPTA, partners include Philadelphia City Planning Commission, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities, Philadelphia Streets Department

Wissahickon Transportation Center (WTC) is one of SEPTA’s busiest bus transfer centers, serving an average of 5,780 people, 780 trips, and 2,905 passenger boards every weekday across eleven bus routes. It provides access to destinations such as King of Prussia, Plymouth Meeting, City Avenue, and Northeast Philadelphia, as well as Center City.

Bus operations at WTC have outgrown the existing physical facilities, and expansion plans have been explored collaboratively between SEPTA and other affected agencies as a part of the Lower Northwest District Plan, part of Philadelphia2035. WTC expansion will significantly improve customer experience, allow for new service and extension of existing bus service, reduce multi-modal congestion, enhance safety, and allow for the completion of a major portion of the Schuylkill River Trail.
